Yarn Porn

STR Queen Rock

Yes, it's Socks That Rock in Queen Rock. The color is not quite as bright as in the picture. For one thing, that royal blue on the right is really much more purple. It's wonderful and I have no idea what I'll use it for - socks, I guess!

Also in the mail today (actually, delivered at about 6:30 by FedEx) was this -- Adagio Tea's ingenuiTEA 'teapot' -- more like an infuser -- and a green tea sampler. I used to be quite a tea drinker and in fact have a collection of teapots. More recently, I've only drank tea when I'm sick or when it's really cold outside, but the recent reports about green tea's benefits have emphasized its protection against Alzheimer's. And since I worry about Alzheimer's anyway (worried, I guess, about becoming one of those crazy ladies with cats -- no, I'm not there yet!), this seems like an easy thing to do. And while you're at the Adagio page, watch the little video about how the ingenuiTEA works -- so cute! ;-)

I wanted to prove to y'all that I've really been knitting, so I tried to take a picture of my fingers, which are blue from the Rowan Denim yarn, but the flash keeps washing out the color and - duh! - I can't remember how to turn the flash off. But take my word for it - I'm quite blue. The fact that I grasp my knitting so tightly that you'd think it was trying to run away probably doesn't help....
